Method

Used to escape ::tags allowing them to target methods within types.

A short hand backslash is also available.

null->escapemember(::tag)

local( mytag = ::tag )
null->\#tag

The below example inserts an item into an array by invoking the insert method via its ::tag.

Code

local( myarray = array )
#myarray->escape_member(::insert)('this was inserted')
#myarray

Result

array(this was inserted)

A short hand version of it.

Code

local( myarray = array, tag = ::insert )
#myarray->\#tag('this was inserted')
#myarray

Result

array(this was inserted)
